Ten Degrees and Getting Colder

  Cold Sunrise   That's just the name of the song written by Gordon Lightfoot.  It was actually -13 F when I got up this morning (wind chill -24).  Tucson may have pulled back into the lead!  There's a lot of weighing pros and cons of Colorado vs Arizona by the wood stove.  Not much else to report. I did enjoy a few games of pool and a beer with my brother this week.  We don't get together very often, so it's good to try to keep the lines of communication open, especially with my mother celebrating her 86th birthday next month.  He lives in Milwaukee and just started semi-retirement.  Our opposing politics and lifestyles keep things very casual and surface-level.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.   It's important to find common ground.  He and his wife have started going to concerts and recently saw the Steve Miller Band.  Music is one of our common interests.

Upper Peninsula: Bay du Noc

 From August 2021

After  wild weekend at Kleinke Park, I was done with camping directly on the beach.  Hitching up the Scamp on Monday, August 16th, I continued heading north past Escanaba, Wells, Gladstone, and Rapid River.  

I headed east and then south until I was across from Gladstone on the other side of the water at  Little Bay du Noc, a national forest campground.   The campsites were well-spaced and nestled into the trees.  No electric, but there were pit toilets and garbage service. $22/night without the senior pass (next year).

There was a small beach but not for camping.  And there wasn't anybody on it.  

 

Instead of sunrise views, I had sunset views from the east side of the bay.

This was camping.
